"Muesli" was developed in the late 19th century by Dr. Bircher-Benner, a
Swiss doctor and nutritionist.

"Granola" is an American invention that has its roots in cereal products like
Grape Nuts. The modern version was developed in the 1960s during the health
food movement of the "hippies".

Muesli generally has less sugar than granola, but many variations of both
exist, almost of all which contain whole grains, dried fruit, and nuts.
